Upon presentation of a
petition to the board of directors of an irrigation district signed by not less than
two-thirds of the legal voters of such district, each of whom is the owner of five
acres or more of lands within the district and has paid the irrigation district taxes in
full upon all his real property located within said district during the calendar year
preceding the presentation of said petition, any irrigation district organized under
the laws relating to such districts may provide for any drainage made necessary by
the irrigation provided for by such laws. The officers, agents, and employees of
such districts shall have the same powers, duties, and liabilities respecting such
drainage, and the construction, repair, maintenance, management, and control
thereof as they have respecting such irrigation, and all laws respecting such
irrigation or such irrigation districts shall be so construed, applied, and enforced as
to apply to such drainage as well as such irrigation.
